  1. There are three way for you.

    Usually, we can recover Windows admin password in two traditional ways. The first is to change Windows password with another admin account; the second is to recover the previous password with the windows password reset disk that had been created before you forgot the password. Take Windows XP for example,

    1 At the Windows XP login prompt when the password is entered incorrectly click the reset button in the login failed window.

    2 Insert the password reset diskette into the computer and click Next.

    3 If the correct diskette Windows XP will open a window prompting for the new password you wish to use.

    However, we offen ignore the important of security until we have been locked out of computer. Fortunately, there is still the last way that can unlock your computer without reinstalling - erase Windows password with Windows password recovery CD, which can recover admin password for Windows 7/XP/Vista/NT/2000/2003.... Take Windows Password Recovery Tool 3.0 for example, followings are the steps to create the reset CD

    1.Download Windows Password Recovery Tool 3.0 from Official site http://.www.windowspasswordsrecovery.com

    2.Decompress the Windows password Recovery Tool and note that there is an .ISO image file. Burn the image file onto an blank CD with the burner freely supported by PasswordSeeker

    3.Insert the newly created CD into the locked computer and re-boot it from the CD drive.

    4.After launched the CD, a window pop up with all your account names(if you have several accounts) select one of the accounts that you have forgotten its password to reset it. Just one press, this software can remove screen password instantly.


    Personally, I prefer to use the third way. It is fast and safe.
